Each Signal is a concise, easy to read summary of a single, recent piece of research, typically 800-1,000 words in length. Audiences vary depending on the topic, but may include clinical staff, managers, public health and social care professionals, patients and carers. Signals are written in a plain English, journalistic style that is both engaging and scientifically accurate. In addition to summarising the research objectives, methods and results, the Signal sets the findings in context and discusses the implications for practice. Each Signal is accompanied by a comment from a relevant expert, practitioner or patient, discussing the relevance of the research to their work.

It is expected that this contract will be awarded on or before 1 April 2019, with a start date of 1 April 2020. It may also be necessary to adjust this contract in line with the requirements of the main contract - for instance, if the target number of Signals required is more or less than specified, the price of this subcontract would need to be adjusted accordingly.
